You can try this : Dig about 1-2 feet in sand. Now cut upper half section of any plastic bottle and put lower part in the dug hole. Now cover this by a polythene sheet and put sand on outer boundary to make the sheet steady. Now the water content of air would start depositing on the inner part of polythene. Also make middle of the polythene slightly downward to bottle so that the water droplets would directly fall inside the bottle. this trick I saw on a programme of Discovery channel.

∙ 9y agoMillions upon millions of people around the world live in deserts and the vast majority (over 99%) live in cities and towns where food is readily available in stores and markets or restaurants. I live in the Chihuahuan Desert and have a Wal*Mart SuperCenter a half mile from my home where I can purchase nearly any food I desire. There are also a number of restaurants and fast food establishments within a short walking distance of my home. For those who live far from a town or city, many of them grow at least part of their own food and purchase other food items when they make an occasional trip into town to stock up on supplies.
My home also has indoor running water but I am also able to purchase bottled water at the Wal*Mart close to my home. The same is available to most others who live in deserts.
